CATALYTIC COMPOSITION USEFUL FOR HYDROGENATION OF DIOLEFIN AND HYDROGENATING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a catalyst composition useful for diolefin hydrogenation. SOLUTION: A supported catalyst composition effective for selective diolefin hydrogenation comprises palladium, silver, and alkali metal fluoride. This catalyst composition is employed in the selective hydrogenation of C4 -C10 diolefins (preferably 1,3-butadiene) with hydrogen gas to the corresponding monoolefins.
